Motherhood and Beauty Day
April 7
April 7 is the Feast of the Annunciation in the calendar of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and officially recognized as Mother’s Day, on which children are expected to give presents to one's own mother, particularly a gift of flowers. A less common tradition is the gift of a budding twig. Though women’s day is in March, April 7 is considered an opportunity to celebrate the unique beauty of all women.
